NOW, HERE'S a refreshing thought ... How about having bus-stops throughout Hong Kong that have colourful garden plants covering their roofs that not only look good but are also able to purify the air on busy thoroughfares?
Here's another one: an intelligent cooking pan that could switch itself off and never burn your food.
Well, if you think these are ideas from sci-fi movies, then it's well worth your time to visit the Science Museum during the next six days.
The 36th Joint School Science Exhibition (JSSE), which is currently being held at this Tsim Sha Tsui venue, solely exhibiting the work of Form Six students, has entered its final stage. More than 20 secondary schools have their final chance to show off how their scientific knowledge and intelligence could enhance the charm of a city.
The theme of this year's exhibition, which is sponsored by electronics giant Philips, is City Charm. It aims to encourage students to pay more attention to their surroundings.
This year, 54 Hong Kong schools submitted proposals.
